Struct std::io::Take

pub struct Take<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

Reader adaptor which limits the bytes read from an underlying reader.

This struct is generally created by calling take on a reader. Please see the documentation of take for more details.

Methods

impl<T> Take<T>

pub fn limit(&self) -> u64

Returns the number of bytes that can be read before this instance will return EOF.

Note

This instance may reach EOF after reading fewer bytes than indicated by this method if the underlying Read instance reaches EOF.

Examples

use std::io;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::fs::File;

let f = File::open("foo.txt")?;

// read at most five bytes
let handle = f.take(5);

println!("limit: {}", handle.limit());

pub fn set_limit(&mut self, limit: u64)

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (take_set_limit #42781)

Sets the number of bytes that can be read before this instance will return EOF. This is the same as constructing a new Take instance, so the amount of bytes read and the previous limit value don't matter when calling this method.

Examples

#![feature(take_set_limit)]
use std::io;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::fs::File;

let f = File::open("foo.txt")?;

// read at most five bytes
let mut handle = f.take(5);
handle.set_limit(10);

assert_eq!(handle.limit(), 10);

pub fn into_inner(self) -> T

Consumes the Take, returning the wrapped reader.

Examples

use std::io;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::fs::File;

let mut file = File::open("foo.txt")?;

let mut buffer = [0; 5];
let mut handle = file.take(5);
handle.read(&mut buffer)?;

let file = handle.into_inner();

Important traits for &'a mut I

impl<'a, I> Iterator for &'a mut I where
    I: Iterator + ?Sized,  type Item = <I as Iterator>::Item;impl<'a, R: Read + ?Sized> Read for &'a mut Rimpl<'a, W: Write + ?Sized> Write for &'a mut W

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &T

Gets a reference to the underlying reader.

Examples

use std::io;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::fs::File;

let mut file = File::open("foo.txt")?;

let mut buffer = [0; 5];
let mut handle = file.take(5);
handle.read(&mut buffer)?;

let file = handle.get_ref();

Important traits for &'a mut I

impl<'a, I> Iterator for &'a mut I where
    I: Iterator + ?Sized,  type Item = <I as Iterator>::Item;impl<'a, R: Read + ?Sized> Read for &'a mut Rimpl<'a, W: Write + ?Sized> Write for &'a mut W

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Gets a mutable reference to the underlying reader.

Care should be taken to avoid modifying the internal I/O state of the underlying reader as doing so may corrupt the internal limit of this Take.

Examples

use std::io;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::fs::File;

let mut file = File::open("foo.txt")?;

let mut buffer = [0; 5];
let mut handle = file.take(5);
handle.read(&mut buffer)?;

let file = handle.get_mut();
